Describe the five main types of connecting neurons in the retina and their functions. What will be an ideal response?
Concepts to Consider: 1) Photoreceptors--rods and cones detect light and synapse on: 2) bipolar cells,
which synapse on: 3) ganglion cells. Axons of ganglion cells unite to form the optic nerve, which
carries the impulse to the brain. There are also lateral interneurons: 4) horizontal cells, which receive
information from photoreceptors and send it to bipolar cells; and 5) amacrine cells, which receive
messages from bipolar cells and send them to ganglion cells or bipolar cells.
